Disclaimer: I own Alison...but nothing else, sniffle.

After drying off Alison slipped into the jeans and tank top that had been given to her and looked around. She was in a hospital type room filled with high tech looking equipment. Alison resisted the urge to press a large red button on the control pad nearest her. After all, curiosity killed the cat. The mutant girl laughed grimly at her own joke as a large blue...monkey? Walked into the room. Alison just about fell off the little bed she was on when she saw her 'doctor'. "Ah, hello Ms. Fillner. How are you feeling." Alison raised an eyebrow and almost laughed. "Well doctor, I just sprouted cat ears and there is this four foot long thing coming out of my back. But I am swell thank you!" The monkey man laughed at this, the new recruits hardly ever had a sense of humor and he was glad for the change. "You may call me Hank, or Mr. McCoy." "How bout Hanky?" "No, no, just Hank." "Hankster?" "No." "Hankerella?" "No." "Hankmyster?" "No." "Hank?" "No, I mean yes, how about just Mr. McCoy?" Alison sighed dramatically. "Your no fun." "Alright, Alison right? Okay Alison, I am going to run a few tests. Just try and relax, I should be done soon then you can go see the proffesor." Alison settled into a more comfortable position and grinned when he hit the large red button. The bed she was on lowered into a metal tube and bright lights came on followed by a whirring sound. After a few minutes she came out and Hanky took a blood/DNA test.

"Well Alison, I have some news, whether it is good or bad is up to you. You have extraudenary powers, but you are not done with your tranformation." Alison groaned and flicked her tail. "Your canine teeth are about to be replaced with longer sharper fangs." "Why canine and not feline?" Hank sighed, "You know what...I don't know... anyway, according to your x-ray your finger nails will be hardening and sharpening also. Your skin patern will go under changes to. You may develope markings similar to that of a cat." Alison laughed out loud at this. Grinning Hank continued. "The odd thing is, I can't get a clear reading of your brain." Alison stiffened. "Your brain waves are extremely complicated, it is almost like there are two-" "Can I go now?" Hank glanced down at the girl and saw a look of fear in her face. He nodded grimly and watched her leave before heading towards the proffessors office.

Outside the medical lab Alison leaned against the wall and too several deep breaths. A boy a few years youger than her was walking down the hall. He smiled at her before tripping and falling flat on his face. Alison leapt onto a chair in a crouching position as three more boys popped out of the original. He looked up grinning sheepishly and he...they continued on their way. Warily stepping down from her perch, Alison sighed and shook her head. Just as she was calming her nerves however a girl her age walked through the wall next to her. Alison jumped and clutched her heart as the other girl grinned at her. "Hi! You must be Alison. The professor sent me to show you around. My name is Kitty, as you saw, I can phase through things." The pink clad girl held out a hand and Alison just stared at it. These people are going to give me a heart attack. Kitty coughed and lowered her hand. "Anywho, your room is near mine and Rogue's. But first, the professor wanted to see you, follow me." Alison grinned and walked after Kitty, she remembered Rogue. She was more her type...less pink. As she and Kitty walked up their second flight of stairs a boy slid down the rail on what appeared to be a slab of ice. Alison jumped out of the way and Kitty phased through the floor just as a second boy came racing down the other rail spinning like a bullet or cannon. Silently Alison thanked her hightened senses and clutched her heart for the second time that day. "I'm going to beat you Bobby!" "In your dreams!" The two boys continued down the stair case and Kitty came out of the floor shaking her head. "Those boys are so immature. Oh well, we are almost there." The girls continued down the hall without anymore life threatining encounters. Finally Kitty pointed to a large oak door and Alison walked in.
